<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 907206, member: 13016&quot;]To me, damage is any condition of the coin outside of plain old wear. As a partial list: Dents/nicks, rim bumps, scratches, cleaning, indentations (other than incurred during the minting process), corrosion, oxidation, PVC or other chemical contamination, and other environmental damage. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some of these coins will get slabbed if the problem is minor enough. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I&#039;m grading a coin, I give it a details grade, and then separately mention the applicable defect from the above list. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can&#039;t speak to the two coins you posted, as I don&#039;t know what feature you&#039;re looking at. If it&#039;s one from the list, I would call it damaged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
